Nick Young #0 of the Los Angeles Lakers attends a news conference to the discuss the controversy with teammate D'Angelo Russell before the start of the NBA game against the Miami Heat at Staples Center March 30, 2016, in Los Angeles, California.

Los Angeles Lakers rookie D'Angelo Russell and teammate Nick Young addressed a media firestorm Wednesday after Russell allegedly recorded secret video of Young talking about encounters with women other than his fiancée, rapper Iggy Azalea.

The video, which surfaced Friday on Twitter and quickly went viral, appears to show Russell asking Young about how many women he had been with. Young's answer suggests the former USC Trojan had cheated on Azalea with a 19-year-old.

hmmm i see D Angelo Russell is trending... I actually liked his film. Thanks bro.

Young and Azalea postponed their wedding earlier this month, but an E! report says the couple are "doing well" despite the controversy. Azalea responded to the video in a tweet early Wednesday, saying, "hmm i see D Angelo Russell is trending... I actually liked his film. Thanks bro."

According to an ESPN report, the team began shunning 20-year-old Russell after the video went viral. Russell disputed that claim during Wednesday's press conference but said there had been a "bad vibe" among teammates since the video went public.

Russell took the opposite approach, taking questions but making no statement. The rookie owned up to jeopardizing his teammate's personal life and said he was "as sick as possible" when asked how he felt about the private video going public.
